Pelagophycidae is a sub class of heterokont algae.It is the sister group of the axodines. [2] Together, they form the class Dictyochophyceae. [1]
All known species are marine. They can be single-celled ( coccoid or flagellate), palmelloid or filamentous. Some members ( Pelagomonas) belong to picoplankton, and some other ( Sarcinochrysis) are macroscopic attached organisms. [2]
The subclass contains 13 genera, 3 families and 2 orders (2017): [3] [4]
It is expected that molecular studies will add more species to this list. [2]
